Tasting

Tasting Notes: Inky blue/purple in color, with an extraordinary nose of espresso roast, chocolate, ripe blackberries, and cassis, this full-bodied, dense, concentrated effort looks like it is going to be one of the greatest Valandrauds made since this estate burst onto the scene. In short, this is a serious, impressive effort from one of Bordeaux's qualitative revolutionaries. — Robert Parker
